Paarl Royals vs Durban Super Giants: Match Predictions
Paarl Royals under the captaincy of David Miller will collide with Keshav Maharaj-led Durban Super Giants. Both teams are coming victorious from their last matches. On 23 January, Durban Super Giants defeated MI Cape Town in a one-sided match by 36 runs. A day later, the Royals defeated the Joburg Super Kings by 5 wickets. If you are making a fantasy team, then looking at statistics is important, and now let us see the players that you should consider adding to your team.
Durban Super Giants started this tournament by winning two consecutive matches and then they lost two consecutive games. But they returned to the winning track just a few days ago. Hopefully, the squad will be confident after their last match. Here are the Super Giants that you should keep an eye on while creating your team:
- Heinrich Klaasen: The wicketkeeper-batter
- Matthew Breetzke: The opening batter
- Reece Topley: The left-arm medium-fast bowler
- Dwaine Pretorius: The bowling all-rounder
Paarl Royals also had a similar start to this season; they defeated Pretoria Capitals in two consecutive matches. Then they lost one match and then again had two consecutive wins. The team squad has been performing great and hopefully, they will continue to do so. These are the names from Royals that you should consider:
- Jos Buttler: The wicketkeeper-batter
- Wihan Lubbe: The middle-order batter
- Lungi Ngidi: The right-arm fast bowler
- Andile Phehlukwayo: The right-arm medium-fast bowler
PR vs DSG: Predicted Playing XI
The captain David Miller wasn’t available in the previous match, Dane Vilas got the chance and he played an important inning of 42 runs. If Miller returns, they can’t kick out Dane as he performed well in the match so we think Mitchell Van Buuren can be asked to rest. Here is the predicted playing 11 of Paarl Royals:
- Jason Roy
- Jos Buttler (wk)
- David Miller (c),
- Fabian Allen
- Dane Vilas
- Andile Phehlokwayo
- Wihan Lubbe
- Bjorn Fortuin
- Lungi Ngidi
- Tabraiz Shamsi
- Obed McCoy
The team is doing well so we don’t expect any changes to the playing 11 as compared to the previous match. Here is the predicted playing 11 of Durban Super Giants:
- Matthew Breetzke
- Tony de Zorzi
- Quinton de Kock (wk)
- JJ Smuts
- Heinrich Klaasen
- Marcus Stoinis
- Wiaan Mulder
- Keshav Maharaj (c)
- Naveen-ul-Haq
- Reece Topley
- Noor Ahmad
